Page 1) ply the penalty clause. A good pattern here is th•e Federal Government which never uses 'penation,lty clauses for construe . The board has discussed de- laying the opening of ..the school until summer. There are advantages to this of course. However, conditions for teach- ers and pupils in the small schools are far from ideal. There will be inevitable disrup- tion in organizing new classes of one grade each and it will give the' children an excellent start in the fall term if the ma- jor difficulties have been over- come by summery In addition there will be a saving in the expense of maintaining double accommodation. We • are moving approximate- ly a third of the furniture from the old schools. Some 'of the parents have criticized,this, in that they, feel we are already spending soy much that the addi- tional cost would be a very small fraction of,the total and the ap- pearance would be improved with complete refurnishing. Our decision is based on the neces- sity for economy where improve- ment in learning will not be affected. In addition there is ,a likelihood that new patterns of :furnishings' may emerge with, in the next five' or ten years and we feel that the old. 'days of our 'student to.,'an attached desk and chair are finished. We have tried to look ahead -by the purchase of. separate units for the pupils with desks that 'can be joined in line , to 'make a table. This increases, the flex- ibility of classroom use, but nevertheless we foresee even more radical changes coming for classroom furnishing. We shall then he in a position to take advantage of any change without undue expense in dis- posing of relatively new furni- ture. The hoard welcomes 'Mrs. A. Westlake and Mr. R. Govenlock to the teaching staff. Mr, Spen- cer Irvine was employed as cus- todian on the first of January. Temporary bussing arrange- ments were made in Stanley last autumn to reduce the'num- ber of grades in each one -room- ed school. Since the cost of this service was rising on Jan. 1, he new contractor has started work in the district with his )Mn•drivers and vehicles. Negotiations are nearly com- pleted for teachers' salaries for he coming year. In common with most salaries the board has had to face the effects of nflation an'd has agreed to' a raise of approximately • ten per cent for most categories of teachers. The new scale is not by any means the highest in the county, but this area had a fairly low base of salaries before the pre- sent board assumed office. If the school is to attract good teachers as rePlacements for he additional classrooms of the newaschool, it is highly im- portant ti)at the salary scale be adequate. The board is working on the budget for the current year. The new debenture will be sold on 1st April, 1967, for $785,000 and owing to the Ontario Mun- cipal Board's use of Canada Pension Plan money the rate of nterest will be five and one half per cent for twenty years. We believe the departmental grants may increase sufficient- y this year that it may not be necessary t� change the present mill rate to any great extent. You may be' assured 'that eyery ffort is being made towards economy In operation, without prejudice to the stiperior type of education• we believe Will re= nit from the opening of the add fiebool. ing.
